This paper presents the results of Poaceae pollen seasons from 2000–2010 in Timisoara, Romania. Airborne Poaceae pollen concentrations was high. An increasing trend in the annual totals was observed. The longest pollen season was recorded in the year 2000. The period in which the Poaceae pollen count exceeded the threshold value of 30 grains/m3 lasted from 9 to 46 days. The present study analyzed the dynamics of pollen seasons in relation to meteorological factors. On the basis of Spearman’s correlation test, the strongest positive correlation was found between the Poaceae pollen counts and temperature; and sunshine hours. Daily average relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and precipitation had a negative effect. A multiple regression analysis was applied to determine how much of the total variance in Poaceae pollen counts can be explained by meteorological parameters. The coefficient of determination ranged from 0.245 to 0.460. Our data illustrate the contrasting effects of temperature, wind, relative humidity and rainfall on the concentration of pollen in the air. The optimum conditions for Poaceae pollen release occur during late spring and early summer. The Poaceae pollen remains one of the major aeroallergens in Timisoara area.

Praca przedstawia wyniki analizy sezonów pyłkowych Poaceae w latach 2000–2010 w mieście Timisoara w Rumunii. W badanym okresie stężenie ziaren pyłku Poaceae w powietrzu było wysokie. Najdłuższy sezon pyłkowy zanotowano w roku 2000. Obserwowano tendencję wzrostową w sumach rocznych pyłku traw. Okres, w którym suma ziaren pyłku Poaceae przekraczała wartość progową, wynoszącą 30 ziaren/m3, trwał od 9 do 46 dni. Analiza dynamiki sezonów pyłkowych Poaceae na tle czynników meteorologicznych wykazała korelację dodatnią pomiędzy sumami ziaren pyłku Poaceae a temperaturą i usłonecznieniem. Korelację ujemną stwierdzono pomiędzy sumami ziaren pyłku a średnią dobową wilgotnością względną powietrza, ciśnieniem atmosferycznym oraz opadami atmosferycznymi. Zastosowano analizę regresji wielokrotnej, aby określić, jaką część całkowitej zmienności sum ziaren pyłku Poaceae można wyjaśnić parametrami meteorologicznymi. Współczynnik determinacji wahał się od 0.245 do 0.460. Wykazano negatywny wpływ temperatury, wiatru, wilgotności względnej i opadów na stężenie pyłku w powietrzu. Optymalne warunki do pylenia Poaceae występują późną wiosną i wczesnym latem. Pyłek traw jest jednym z głównym aeroalergenów w Rumunii.
